Just when everything seemed in readiness to give Bingham what they have been demanding for so long, a new high school building,, dissent ion and legal entangle-- ! tnent a have arisen which probably may, cause a permanent abandon-ment of the plana. 3s -- ; , Although plans have been ac-cepted and bids received for . new high school unit and necessary funds have been made ' available to carry out the work, the filing of injunctions, obtain- -' ing of restraining orders and dis-sent ion as to the location of the school has so far prevented the starting of any construction of the ' building. In fact, it is possible the present disagreement may permanently prevent the ejection of a new high school building for ' '' Bingham. Representatives of the Taxpay ..., ers'1 Association met with , the j board at Sandy last Friday even- - . ing for what was termed an ex- - (huge of ideas with the board. Dr. Harris, statistical agent for the Taxpayers submitted a oompila- - tion of statistics which he said his organization had gathered. :, Dr. Harris urged the board do be guided by the wishes of the patrons of the district in the ere?- - iing of new schools. ' LEGION AIRES MEET Bingham Post No. 30 of the American Legion will hold on im-portant meeting tomorrow night Bt the Masonic Ilall.. Full reports of the Ogdtjri "convention will be given. Trophies won at the con-venti-will b formally received by the local post. - - - Other business of major impor-tance will be the annual election of officers who will preside over the post during the ensuing year. The Biugham Tost is one of the moat active in the state, having a large, growing and active mem-bership. ' Time of meeting is' eight' o'- clock; on Friday, September 13th. A dne-hundr- , jper " cent atten-dance is desired. COURSES ADDED TO j SCHOOL CURRICULUM ' ' i Band, for sixths seventh and eighth grades. Art, for all grades., i' Spanish B., for high Bchool. Beginners Dancing, for high school. Violin, for grades six to twelve inclusive. An effort! is being made to se-cure a piano teacher who can teach group piano. In such a situation the teacher would handle from aix to twelve pupils at a time, and the cost per pupil would be greatly reduced. It is thought that this arrangement can be put over for a cost per lesson of about twenty-fiv- e cents per pupil. It is believed, also, that the result ob-- ; tained will be quite aa satisfactory a? where lessons are given to the' individual pupil. If parents who are interested in this plan will advise the school,; the school will then know what arrangements it should attempt to: make. . PROF. J. E. McGEE OPENS DANCING SCHOOL HERE At last we have something that Bingham really needs. Mr. J. E. McQee, one of America's foremost dancers and for many years a teacher of dancing has opened a school of dancing in Bingham. Mr. McGee will be here all winter and also has a school in Tooele and is opening one in Park (Sty. I Mr. MeOee and his charming partner. Miss Jacqueline Mathieu, will give an exhibition at the Can-yon Hall where they have their school every Tuesday evening. We suggest that you coma and see this lovely couple dance then no doubt you will see where you can learn some really new and up to date dances. They cotne tto us very highly recommended having played all over this country and Europe. They just - finished a winter's engagement in Miami, Florida, with the famous , Ted Lewis and his victory recording orchestra. , Mr. McQee has only been here x few days and has a large class already. The people of Bingham are mostly people who have trav-eled a lot and therefore are used only to the best and we feel sure that they will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. For further information see Mr. Me- Oee at his studio in. the Canyon hall on Tuesday and Thursday of jach week from .10 a. m. to 9 p. m. i CITY HEALTH DEPT. URGES SANITATION A very active campaign is being conducted by Ihe city health de-partment just now in an effort to improve the sanitary codition of the community for the safety and wellbeing of all. Notices have been sent cut to those who yet maintain primitive equipment for the disposal of waste. These are urgently requested to provide sewer connections or cesspools as a means of better sanitation and to abandon the use of open toilets. Some have shown a willingness to comply with this request while others seem to take the attitude that their sanitation is a matter of their own choice, according to the health officers. CONSTITUTIONAL? ! i Inasmuch as their seems to be in existence that great controversy about the reasons for and against the prohibition law, and the peo-ple of the nation are so much con-cerned with the law enforcement program of the land it might be very interacting to make some ob-servation on just what the status of the laws of the country have, and' just what strtling thing can he discovered by the looking into the pages of the lawmaking mem-bers of the country and even into the status of the President of the United States, Herbert Hoover. There i a contention that has a great deal of merit to it that the congress and all of the acts passed by it and even the president are recognized under the constitution and therefore will not hold under the rulings of the Federal Courts. The Constitution contains more than the eighteenth amendment, despite the fact that a great deal of the people do not seem to re-member the facts. The constitu-tion demands in uncertain terms a reapportionment ater every de-cennial census. Congress has cho-sen to ingnore this vital clause in the constitution, and what would seem to be an unconstitutional and illegal congress proceedes.to pass laws of the character of the Jones law for us which will undoubtedly bring befor the Federal Courts the opportunity of making a decision cn the matter. .. It ia contended that for the past seven years that there are millions of people in the United States who are being deprived of there repre-sentation in. the government be-cause congress has failed to see fit to make the repportionment demanded by the constitution. In one state it is argued 280,000 peo-ple can elect a Representative and in another state it requires 1,000, 000. In view of this fact there have arisen contenders that the lack of reapportionment has gone so for as to cause taxation without due represents lion. - As this matter of reapportion-ment "also envolves "the "Electoral College it is contended that even the president does not legally hold the office of the chief executive of the nation. All of these contentions have a tendency to make us shudder and to really wonder just what kind of a country we live in. At any rate it is most interesting to have these matters brought to our att-ention and we are watching very carefully for what the future will bring to us . by Arthur BrUbn J The Cool Pacific.

Political cam- - paigns, and the Fourth of July. Judging by the indifference of many people to that great privi-lege of citizenship the - ballot--the-re would seem to ge a grain of truth in this.' An examination of the records of local elections held during the past few years in this town dis-closes the fact that a great many of our citizens have not exercised their right to vote on matters of importance to this community. In order to insure a completely rep-resentative local government ev-ery citizen should be a voter If we were not allowed to vote, what a privilege it would be; ;: Every citizen of this town has a a voice in whatever affects the general good. Each man's opinion carries weight if he will but take the' trouble to express it. By his "yes" or "noM he can help Vo pro-mote the welfare of his community ; Like charity, good government begins at home. Nf each town would intelligently consider its loeal problems and solve them by popular vote the nation as a whole would advance in mighty strides. Let us practice the higher prin-ciples of patriotism and citizen-ship through an awakened inter-ts- t in local affairs. There is real-ly no good reason who our city should not enjoy the enviable rep-ntati-of having over 95 per cent of our eligible voters registered and placing their ballots in the ballot boxes at all local elections.

Governor Dern Supports Utah Fair Appealing for patronage of the Utah State Fair, October S to 1 Governor George H. Dern said: "The Utah State Fair has become more than an exposition; it is an insti-tution. For more than seventy years the citizent of this commonwealth have kept in touch with the agricul-tural and industrial activities ol all sections of the state by attending the Fair. There they have been able to learn of the progress being made by their fellow citizens and without having to travel to the dif-ferent counties and localities. "Because of this fact, the Utah State Fair must be considered an educa-tional institution. By attending it each year one may leara what is being done toward bettering the livestock and improving agricultural and horti-cultural products of Utah. In addi-tion to that the patron may sec samp-les of the output of the factories and the shops, the mines and the mills, and discover for himself the growth and advancement in each line of en-deavor. "Each year the State Fair Board seeks to enlarge and improve the ex-hibition. New attractions arc added, new buildings are constructed, and more and better exhibits are solicited. This year the Board declares the ex-position will excel all Utah fairs of the past No effort will be spared in the attempt to make the 1929 display the outstanding one to date in the history oi the state."
